Snow Falls

When a group of college friends go to one of their parent's cottages, at a ski resort called Snow Falls, for New Year's Eve...they end up getting trapped, with no power, little food, and a supply of firewood that they are burning through quick. However, they still have a safe house...and blankets...and each other... So when the one girl- traumatized by the dying words of her mother- takes over, with all these rules, designed to prevent hypothermia...all logic- and any semblance of common sense- is just thrown out the window. Because...though, it would no doubt be cold. It wouldn't be to the point where they are actually hypothermic. So the fact that she suggests they "don't fall asleep", only acts to make matters worse...as being sleep deprived would go to adversely effect their psychological state. Which is what the entire premise of this film is based on. As they can't even go three damn days before they all start tripping out. Which is just as ridiculous as not falling asleep at all during that timeframe. Because, they are quite literally surrounded by trees...yet make no attempt to collect firewood at any point. Which would have solved all of their nonsensical problems. Not to mention...THERE IS BARELY EVEN ANY FRIGGING SNOW...!?!? For anyone who lives in an area where it snows...you'll look at the rate at which the CGI (ugh) snow is coming down...and be like...hey, how pleasant. The filmmakers make zero effort to make it seem like they are actually stuck in a blizzard (the snow doesn't even go above the soles of their boots ffs). So it's simply laughable. And this is before they introduce the equally absurd theme of them thinking the snowflakes are infected by some sort of virus. Which doesn't even make any damn sense. Their paranoid delusions are, apparently, a result of the sleep deprivation...while their sleep deprivation is all based on one chick's idiotic direction...and them collectively being too stupid to collect firewood, despite wandering around outside amongst a plethora of very accessible trees. Literally nothing in this film makes sense. If the writers had half a brain, they would have just made the whole thing a cannibal flick...because the only actual problem they have is a lack of food...and even that is giving them the benefit of the doubt, because they still have food at the end!!! The entire plot here is so stupid...it's flabbergasting. Leaving me genuinely confused about what the creators were thinking when they constructed it. Is the whole point of this film to frustrate you, with how frustratingly dumb these characters are? Cause if that's not it...then I just don't get it. Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing what kind of year 2023 is going to be like for horror. Because this move is idiotic. Talk about a bad start to the New Year... 1 out of 10.

They have heat....... the entire movie is ignorant and mindless. The medical student would never make it in real life and should have been sacrificed and eaten. Whoever wrote the film should stick to basic children's books. There are multiple bedrooms throughout this big Ole cabin with thick blankets besides the fact they have gas as heat source. One of these clowns turns on stove, burns his hand and they magically forget about the gas stove and keep rambling how they are hypothermia after one day. There is a forest full of wood, house full of wood, plenty of alcohol to start fire besides fact THEY HAVE GAS FOR HEAT!

First 20 minutes was okay. Then bam power shortage and no gas in the generator. Long story short, it's been a whole (gasp!) 2 (two) days since the electricity was gone and those college kids started thinking about imminent (sic!) death from hypothermia and maybe starving, aha. There is plenty of snow around, you can boil it and survive a month at least without food at all, just on water. Also, you can watch a bunch of YouTube videos, like "She has been Living in a Cabin in the Forests of Sweden for 8 years Home Tour" - there is a room tour in a cabin without electricity. Of course, you can get hypothermia indoors, in a bad shack with huge holes, without availability to cover those holes, without clothes, blankets and with no heat at all. But, in a well-builded house, with a fireplace, tons of insulatable materials, the whole forest and trees and bushes around and wooden furniture in the house, unlimited water source from crappy CGI-snow, a med college student came up with a brilliant idea about sleep deprivation to avoid this (imminent, duh) hypothermia. I don't know, maybe they are on some sort of heavy drugs? Looks like the scenarist (director himself) was cutting logical corners in the script too much, going to the point of "oh I will show a cool movie about sleep deprivation". If you try to believe in this film and watch it till the end, there is bad news for you - the CGI-snow will become more crappier at the end.
